Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel

So, the last few days of school have not been too great. I was working with a professor on a project, and I gave up most of my weekend to get data together only to have pretty much nothing of what I did actually used. Needless to say, I was pretty frustrated. This frustration led me to question why I am here and to enter in to the realm of self-pitty. Why couldn't I have an easier job to do than to leave my family, our friends, our dog, our house (really our dog's house now), and a good paying job to go back to school and feel stupid pretty much every single day. I spend most of my time studying, missing out on time with my family, and I am not really sure that the studying is getting me any further along. And my thoughts go on and on.
Then, I read this talk by Elder Perry tonight, and I realized that I really have things pretty easy. I have my husband and my girls. We have a good place to live and food to eat. We still have family and friends that support us. And, even though I feel pretty stupid, I have hope that if I keep working hard, I will be smarter tomorrow than I am today (maybe, if I could remember anything that I am reading).
